The Spring of Myst is a special function found in the field of an area.

Contents

A PC drops either a weapon or armor in the spring and a spring demon (either the blue Monsieur or the orange Grandpa) appears. The demon asks if the player dropped one of the following:

Neither

Silver Axe

Golden Axe

Grandpa

If either of the last two choices are picked, the corresponding weapon is given. If Neither is picked, then the dropped item will be downgraded, upgraded, or returned "as-is" to the user.

If the dropped item is too high a level or is classified as a Rare Item, the demon will return the weapon and compensate by also giving both a Silver Axe and Golden Axe. If the item is at a proper level, the item will be upgraded or downgraded depending on weather.

The Spring of Myst is a direct parallel to the Aesop fable "Mercury and the Woodman", which depicts a woodman (axe-wielding lumberjack) whose axe falls into a lake and performs a test of honesty with the god Mercury (aka Hermes) as a test of honesty. [1]
